WiFi has been fixed on Raspberry Pi boards for NEMS 1.5, and I've retroactively rolled out the patch to all NEMS 1.4.1 Pi-based systems. Please reboot your Raspberry Pi to activate the new firmware and gain access to WiFi connectivity, if desired.
As a side note, remember that while I've fixed this issue, I highly recommend using Ethernet for your NEMS server. I do however understand there are use cases where WiFi is desirable, even if not a truly "good" solution. Please remember that by using WiFi, you are introducing a very real possibility of false notifications as WiFi is not nearly as reliable as Ethernet for your NEMS server. If using a Raspberry Pi Zero, I'd recommend you look at a Ethernet OTG cable, which is only a few bucks on Amazon and will give your Pi Zero Ethernet connectivity.
